After years of neglect, I found myself looking in the mirror chanting the ever
popular phrase, "It's not THAT bad!".
THEN CAME THE PHOTO!!!!
My wife and I took a long weekend and went to Disney in Florida February of
2008. While wandering the Magic Kingdom, we had our photo taken in front
of the castle. We picked it up later that day. When we were presented with the
photo, we looked at each other and jokingly stated, "Who's the old, frumpy,
overweight couple?" It was us alright!! The camera may not always be your
friend, but it rarely lies. I had been fairly active as a younger man. I played
summer league softball 2-3 nights a week. Had played ice hockey until my
mid 30's. Everything changed November 0f 2003. While working on building a
house, I pulled a muscle in my back, only to find out later, the disc at the
base of my spine were gone. My spine collapsed, damaging the sciatic nerve.
I underwent spinal fusion surgery, went through rehab, that did more harm
than good, and was told that life as I knew it was over. The nerve pain would
only go away with STRONG narcotics, and I could expect to live a sedentary
lifestyle.
Enter Beachbody, I stumbled upon this infomercial to "Get ripped in 90 days!"
I was intrigued and scared all at the same time, we went to the website and
found P90X, but also saw Power90. We started in April of 2008. I started out
slow and methodical, I hurt, but refused to give up. I lost weight, got stronger
and then decided to jump to P90X. After completing 1 round, I felt great! I
still have the nerve pain, always will, I just work around it. I do believe that anything is
possible, as long as you truly want it. We continue to push our health and fitness forward, utilizing a number of Beachbody fitness programs, incorporating Shakeology into our daily nutrition (it IS the healthiest meal of the day, and YUMMY!). I do follow a Dr. Phil'ism "Be in the best shape I can, for the shape I am in!". I
can't wait to see where I can go!
